Instead of not possible deepsky ( too many clouds and too long summer light), here a small Venus. Keeps getting lower and lower in the sky.

With the planet Venus in crescent form on the 13th ofMay, our humid and hazy night here in Buffalo, NY gave it an orangey appearance. I have the Meade ETX-90EC and used the Scopetronix E-Z Pix and Olympus digital camera to take the photos and included one of Jupiter, of the same night. Just 3 images were stacked for Venus and 15 for Jupiter using Registax. Saturn was hidden by the haze, but I was able to see the International Space Station sail by rapidly that evening!

here is an example of the images I took last nightunder exceptionally good seeing conditions, a "once a year" night. When I first looked into the eyepiece there was almost no turbulence, the transparency was perfest. Although I knew this was a special occasion,I was more than delighted about the results,they were better than I ever hoped. The detail exeeds anything I recorded on Jupiter before. Data: Jupiter on Apr 24 2004, 19:50 and 19:58 UT from Bad Zwischenahn, Germany. N = up, E = right. Seeing 10/10.Io in Transit andEuropa are visible. Recorded in focus with ETX 125, 2x TeleVue Barlow, ToUCam Pro at 10 fps. 550/570 of 650/690 AVI frames stacked and processed with Registax 2.1. More of these images under http://people.freenet.de/Astroseiten

Hope all is well. I'm sending you two pictures I made, one of Jupiter and one of Saturn. Made both april 15th with my ETX-105 and a PhilipsToUCam. Processed and stacked them in Registax and a little fine-tuning in PhotoshopElements. I'm really enjoying my great scope and slowly start to get better pics. Hope you enjoy them and post them on your site.

It's been a while that I've tried to take images of Jupiter and Saturn. This is the result of my latest session. Hope you got some place in de planet gallery ! :) For more image info check my site: members.home.nl/damhof/astro/ or http://www.etx125.tk
"Craig M. Bobchin" (ETX_Astro_Boy@sbcglobal.net) [14 Apr 04]
I tried again for Jupiter, this time with a 2x Celestron Ultima barlow with the LPI on my ETX 105. I took 102 BMPS and stacked, aligned and processed with Registax. Io is just coming off the limb as well as the red spot being dead center. Take a look and tell me what you think. Post it if you feel it is worthy. I'll see you on Tues. at the Astro Imagers meeting.
Here is another, this is also from last night. It is 3 images showing Io getting closer to the disk then the last shot I sent you. I think it is a pretty decent progression. I'm starting to really like this Meade LPI. Now I just have to fool around with a couple of other programs.
"Chuck Falcone" (cmfalcone@san.rr.com) [14 Apr 04]
Thought I would send this photo to you for posting. I took all three images from my backyard, (San Diego),last night. Venus was taken in incandescent. Jupiter and Saturn taken in daylight setting. AVIs at 5fps for 2 minutes. Aligned and stacked with Registax. Crop all images and reduced to 80% of originals to make composite. Equipment: ETX125EC UTCand Quickcam Pro 4000. Thanks for a informative and fun site! Chuck Falcone Lat 32 46.8 Long 117 4.2

This will probably be one of the final ETX shots you will see from me. And I chose a subject that was well suited to the Mighty ETX. And that is the tiny planet Mercury. As you well know, Mercury is VERY difficult to shoot because of its proximity to the sun and because it is always low in the sky when visible. I decided to use my ETX 90 because I knew I would never be able to set up my brand new 10" LX200GPS-SMT in time. So this shot was taken with my Canon G3 and a Meade 12.4mm ep using a Digi-T ring. Actually the result you see here is after stacking and processing 17 images in Registax 2 and also a little bit of fixing in Photoshop Elements. All of my other ETX images can still be found in my gallery here: http://www.pbase.com/sdpaul/etx_astro_telescope_g3 and my other astrophotos can be found here: http://www.pbase.com/sdpaul/digital_rebel_astro and here: http://www.pbase.com/sdpaul/lx200gps_smt
